Traditional Chinese medicine tonic easy test site: the use of astragalus

It can be said that Chinese herbal medicine is the basis of Chinese medicine. Without Chinese herbal medicine, a clever woman can't cook without rice. Familiarity with the medicinal efficacy and usage of Chinese herbal medicines is an essential ability for practitioners of Chinese medicine. The following small series will tell you about the usage of Astragalus membranaceus, which is also one of the easy test sites of traditional Chinese medicine. You must pay attention!

Xu was an official in Jiangsu in the Qing Dynasty and a forensic scientist. He is proficient in medicine. It is amazing that he used Astragalus membranaceus to reduce swelling in Cold Foot Medical Talk.

In the summer and autumn of that year, a relative of Xu's staff had never visited relatives from other places, and suddenly he had edema, abnormal swelling from head to toe, wheezing, constipation and was in critical condition.

When Xu went to see a doctor, he saw that the patient was swollen and sallow, and was diagnosed as deficiency syndrome. He asked the patient to fry four ounces of raw astragalus and a small wine cup into a big bowl and sip it frequently with a small spoon. After eating half a bowl, my asthma was a little flat. After taking the whole bowl, you will urinate soon, and the urine volume will reach three pots one after another, and most of the edema will be eliminated.

Only the feet are still swollen. After that, the patient continued to take this prescription, and the amount of Astragalus gradually decreased, adding a little medicine for removing dampness and calming the stomach. It lasted for two months, and the illness basically recovered, except for the swollen foot.

Xu said to the patient, "I'm afraid this disease will recur next year." Please go home to take medicine and eat. " After returning home, the patient didn't rest as instructed, and he became ill again the next year. A local doctor even condemned Xu's treatment, saying that the patient was lucky not to die, so he put a dehumidifier in it. As a result, after taking less than ten doses, the patient died and the whole family was very sad. When the "dead man" was about to be buried and covered with a coffin, his wife suddenly saw him.

The patient's eyes moved slightly, and all his relatives were called to see it, and it happened. So I tried to save my mouth with Xu Huangqi and glutinous rice, but I didn't swallow it at first. After a while, the patient suddenly opened his eyes and swallowed the medicine soup. After a while, the patient woke up silently. After that, we still take prescription rest and astragalus root to several kilograms until the swelling is completely eliminated.

Astragalus membranaceus is an ancient trump card for invigorating qi, but its effects of invigorating spleen, promoting diuresis and reducing swelling are also outstanding. As early as in Synopsis of the Golden Chamber, Zhang Zhongjing invented Ji Fang Huangqi Decoction, and used more than one or two pieces of Huangqi to treat "feng shui pulse floating heavy body". For edema caused by qi deficiency, water dampness and blood stasis, it is really effective to use Astragalus membranaceus alone or in combination. Glutinous rice (commonly known as glutinous rice in the south) is shelled rice, which has the effects of tonifying the middle energizer, strengthening the spleen and nourishing the stomach, and complements Astragalus membranaceus.

Xu knew this well and used a lot of Astragalus membranaceus, but the local doctors didn't know it, so he mishandled it and saved the day. In the book, the usual dosage of Astragalus membranaceus is 10 ~ 15g, and the large dosage can reach more than 60g. In today's clinic,

The long-term treatment of chronic nephritis edema and urinary protein is reliable by reusing Astragalus membranaceus and cooperating with the products of invigorating spleen and kidney, diuresis and dampness.

If you are sick, you often take Chinese medicine. Stick to the middle, leaving one package to cure all diseases.
